CALLAS, PETER
NEW JERSEY
NEW JERSEY
My life, together with my art has been a work in progress. I have lived by intuitive chance, liberating the bad efforts and giving artistic potential a second chance. When I am working on constructing a piece, sometimes by deconstruction, I find a more exciting way to approach it. To that end there are no limits. It is an artistic process in which you either get something good or you don’t.
The joy of shaping, however, should never be overshadowed by the entertainment value of making things; it must always reflect how I feel inside. Perception of myself, understanding my own spirit and the ability to see things differently function to fulfill my ambitions, and illuminate my vision. Over the years I have accumulated a wealth of technical skills, but all the technique in the world does not guarantee an aesthetic vision or successful form. Raw talent, an immeasurable degree of faith in myself, and perseverance germinate that free, dynamic approach necessary to thrive as an artist. Predictably it has become more about instilling a sense of purpose and self worth in life.
In the vein of waiting to rust, it takes time and patience to distill the information, in order to resolve and reveal your own character. Like enduring the ugliness of overgrown vegetation, one needs to visualize relationships to evolve and mature with the same grace as an inspired landscape. Rustic imagery engages the subtle poetics of nature, amplifying its irregularities and suggestive mysteries that challenge ones expectations of perfection. Inevitably an anthem of crisp irrationality flourished with the abandonment of the figure. While at the same time addressing the concerns of my chosen tradition; abstract expressionism. It served as a model for my repertoire of sculptural images grounded in the Zen aesthetic. In the end I suppose I am only answering to my own ego. But more importantly, I think I am enriching and expanding the parameters of my tradition.

The joy of shaping, however, should never be overshadowed by the entertainment value of making things; it must always reflect how I feel inside. Perception of myself, understanding my own spirit and the ability to see things differently function to fulfill my ambitions, and illuminate my vision. Over the years I have accumulated a wealth of technical skills, but all the technique in the world does not guarantee an aesthetic vision or successful form. Raw talent, an immeasurable degree of faith in myself, and perseverance germinate that free, dynamic approach necessary to thrive as an artist. Predictably it has become more about instilling a sense of purpose and self worth in life.
In the vein of waiting to rust, it takes time and patience to distill the information, in order to resolve and reveal your own character. Like enduring the ugliness of overgrown vegetation, one needs to visualize relationships to evolve and mature with the same grace as an inspired landscape. Rustic imagery engages the subtle poetics of nature, amplifying its irregularities and suggestive mysteries that challenge ones expectations of perfection. Inevitably an anthem of crisp irrationality flourished with the abandonment of the figure. While at the same time addressing the concerns of my chosen tradition; abstract expressionism. It served as a model for my repertoire of sculptural images grounded in the Zen aesthetic. In the end I suppose I am only answering to my own ego. But more importantly, I think I am enriching and expanding the parameters of my tradition.
